摘要

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to significant global health burden, including both acute infections and persistent post-acute sequelae, also known as Long COVID (LC) in survivors. While clinical management has reduced case-fatality rates, a substantial proportion of patients develop LC, a heterogeneous syndrome with long-term symptoms. This complex continuum requires therapeutic strategies for both the acute and chronic phases. Plasma proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool in precision medicine, offering insights into systemic molecular changes and disease trajectories. Using targeted and untargeted proteomic analyses, researchers can identify disease-relevant pathways, perform cellular deconvolution to assess tissue-specific contributions, and pinpoint therapeutic targets for both acute infection and persistent symptoms. Combined with bioinformatics and machine learning, these proteomic insights support biomarker discovery and drug repurposing strategies.
